Over de muzikale koers zei Portnoy het volgende: “It’s a classic-rock kind of power-trio sound. If you picture the classic-rock bands of… the classic ones — Led Zeppelin, Cream , Jimi Hendrix Experience, Grand Funk Railroad — if you take that classic-rock power-trio sound of the early ’70s, and then you sprinkle it on top with some of the modern kind of sounds of Soundgarden and Alice in Chains or Black Crowes or Lenny Kravitz … It’s in that vein; it’s kind of a [mixture] of all of those bands. But on top of it all you’ve got the phenomenal playing that Richie and Billy do, and I could play a couple of things on the drums as well [chuckles], so… And all three of us are singing — Richie is the lead vocalist, obviously, but me and Billy are also singing.”
